Human drugs for pets

There's been some posts about dogs and benadryl, and other things for upset tummies and such. I thought that this link would be helpful as it gives safe and unsafe human drugs and their dosages. For quick reference, on the benadryl, the dosage is .5 to 2.0 mg per pound. Each small capsule is 25 mg., so a 50 lb dog, for example, could get 1 to 4 caplets at a time. We buy the generic brand bottle of 400 from Costco for $3.65.

I heard on the news the other day that they have been developing marijuana pills to replace pot and have a more sane way to distribute and dose for people with pain and chemo issues. So far they have one that is very controllable, but they don't want to release it because it has the undesirable side effect of calm and euphoria. Oh, for crying out loud! Without the calm and euphoria, what's the point?

Stepto2, I may have to try that. Sometimes you can hear Bubba's tummy from across the room, and you have to make sure he can get right out of the room. Mandy doesn't travel well at all, so we will have to bring some crackers along with us on our next trip.

When you say "sweet weak tea", what do you mean? I find that what we mean by tea on the west coast isn't necessarily what you mean back east or in the south.

Erm... Well, I make a cup of hot tea in the microwave - just a normal ceramic coffee cup full. Bag in before I stick it in the nuker. Then I pour it in a bowl, mix in about 1 tbsp sugar and 4 or 5 ice cubes - cools it and makes it weak. Sometimes Bubbles will drink it without sugar but that's an extra enticement.

Now for ME - I make it with 1/2 a cup of tea, add water to weaken. So it's still hot! (And loose leaves, but I'm odd like that.)
